WHAT HE SAID
On finally knowing he's going to Tech: "I've been wanting to go to Georgia Tech since the summer, so it was a huge sigh of relief. Especially to stay in my home state and kick for one of my home teams."
On receiving a scholarship offer on Jan. 23 from Tech coach Paul Johnson and defensive coordinator Ted Roof: "They offered me a full-ride scholarship, and that's pretty hard to do as a kicker. … It took about 10 seconds (to accept.)"
On what it means to go to Tech: "It means a lot. I'm going to a great school which is the most important thing. A great education and playing for a great ACC school that went 9-4 and won a pretty-big bowl game against Kentucky."
